C-c-c-cold

May 10, 2010

Distance: 2 miles.

Dang it was cold - in the mid-40s this morning.  Where did summer go?  I am glad I remembered to wear my fleece ear warmer.

Successes: I ran with no stopping longer than on Saturday - one block longer.  So, in the end I only walked a block, apart from the warm up and cool down walking I do at the beginning and end of the run. I’m so happy about this!

I also felt really strong, which is an amazing feeling.  I said goodbye to 2 mile runs this morning - I won’t revisit that distance until right before the race.  I feel good about 2 miles and 3 miles will feel like that very soon, I expect.

I am anticipating Saturday, which hails the fartlek.  What is a fartlek?  I think of it as intervals, but it’s really more than that.  I like these guidelines.  I’ll talk more about it on the weekend after I’ve completed it.

Next run: Tuesday, 3 miles.

Onward!
